world of darkness

"And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things." ― Terry Pratchett The world is a crueler place than most people know. Those with too much ambition and no conscience to restrain them make common cause with each other, forming conspiracies that lurk in the shadows or hide in...

In the beginning, the Shan’iatu came to the children of the Black Land. By their spells, their wisdom and their lashes, the children of clay were educated, and the pillars of the first empire raised. Armies marched in gleaming bronze to bring slaves and servants to the altars, the temples and...

The beginning of the end of your last day on Earth was innocent enough. It had been a long day at work, and you were ready for the weekend to begin. Well, almost ready. As you look up from your sudsy hands beneath the flowing tap of the bathroom sink, you spy a: [] [GENDER] A man staring back...

The morning brief sounds out, calling all staff to respond. You pull yourself out of bed, blinking away the three-hour rest cycle you had as the artificial gravity nullifies the gee’s from the fusion drive’s sudden acceleration. Today, you get the honour of leading a Construct of three...

12/31/2003 Snow drifts down from the sky, dusting the grass and trees with white beneath the flickering light posts. The sounds of cars and trains and humanity are muffled by trees and distance. The scene might be pretty, but the only person around doesn't have room in their mind to take it in...

Strands of blonde hair falling into seafoam green eyes cause you to blink and flinch back and provide an entirely welcome distraction from Blackstone’s Commentaries. Wonder what you’d think about everything that was birthed from this book? Would you be proud, or disappointed, or probably just...

There's something to be said about escapist fantasy. I live in a world where it's everywhere; stories of people traveling to magical worlds, or dying and being reincarnated with special powers with their memories intact. Complete nonsense of course, there are no magic wardrobes or mirrors, and...

Seattle September 14th, 2018. 12:33 AM It’s a frigid autumn midnight, snow coating streets and ice sheets slithering over sidewalks. The thrum of humanity continues ever onwards despite such things, cars running hot to beat back the cold as establishments cry out for customers, declaring their...

New York in the springtime, there’s nothing quite like it. Rats scampering the smell of sewage from the Hudson river, and the sound of gunfire in the night. I live in the shittiest apartment in the shittiest part of town, Brownsville. You’re about four times as likely to be murdered in this part...

So I've had a World Of Darkness quest on my mind for a while, and I only did Marvelous first so my first quest wouldn't be overly bogged down by complicated character generation. But I'm at like 100k on that quest already so I feel like I should get this one started. Edit: Clarification: You...

The First Dream Taylor was dreaming of a door. It wasn’t particularly unusual in and of itself, made from some dark wood and varnished to mirror smoothness, but there was still something about it that fascinated her. Maybe it was the etchings, filled in with gilt and worked in inscrutable...

A/N: Hello all! I'm taking a short break from A Poisoned Chalice, and taking the opportunity to update some of my older fics - so it seemed the right time to crosspost this from FFNet. As always, if you enjoyed this feel free to read ahead or check out some of my other stories on my profile...

Ever since humanity had learned how to communicate basic ideas to one another we would always talk about monsters in the shadows that would kill people just because it could, but something we all seemed to have forgotten is that the thing most skilled at killing humans is other humans. Humans...

Something we seem to forget in a lot of horror movies is how much the monster relies on it's environment a (in)convenient blizzard or tree falling into the middle of the road,stops survivors from running for safety and isolation prevents outside help. Even in non-horror movies the environment...

Oh, look. Psycho's having a meltdown and posting a new story by cutting a chapter short. Must be the second Sunday of the month. Alongside this, there's a worldbuilding thread where people can offer ideas in the Discussions, because this? This is gonna be a Leviathan, even by the standards of...

The Age Of Legends has passed. The Spirits and Gods that once walked the world are gone. The causes of their deaths are many. Some faded from the world, forgotten by their followers. Others eroded into dust when their powers were extinguished. Many were felled by their fellows, who sought to...

It’s eleven PM on a Thursday and you have a trig test tomorrow and you and Brad are just completely totally fucking bored out of your goddamn minds. Brad is handling the mop in the back of the place, cause if your super does one of those bullshit surprise visits, or if he checks the security...

Don’t Depend On It (???, sometime past midnight) The Prince believed in the principle that the craftswoman made her own tools, and had designed the means of execution, the site, and every small element of the experience herself. It was on a trail far from the city, far from anything at all...

Prologue Once upon a time, there was a Golden City on a hill. It was called Atlantis, and its inhabitants could reach the Supernal and use Magic. Once upon a time, the Gods of Light and Darkness created Humanity as a way to mend fences between them, and gave them the gift of Magic. But then...

The year is 1991 and the Iron Curtain has collapsed. Not after a bloody conflict, as most people in the West expected. It simply fell on its own. It started two years ago with a failed political gambit. After the nightmare of martial law, brutal crackdown of the democratic opposition and...

Year of our lord 1234 Run. The only thought in your mind. Blasted hunters, blasted, blasted. They destroyed everything, burned books and scrolls, grind into dust everything. Killed everyone. And now you have to run like a dog. Who could send these brigands? The Lord of this land promised our...

Hello, this is my first quest on this site. There are some very high-quality quests here, but World of Darkness is quite unrepresented for some reason. Thus, I’ve decided to run a Mage: The Awakening quest with simplified mechanics. There won’t be a turn system, and many of the involved...

Hey, what's one movie monster the World of Darkness hasn't made a gameline about? That's right, blob monsters. Well I think they have shown up a couple of times, like a boss in V:tM Bloodlines and I think you could play as one in the upcoming Deviant: the Renegades, but definitely not...
